You are the World

Cody W

Free verse
You are the world
That is all that you see
What you project
Is made in to reality

You claim to understand
Matters of worldly affairs
But you spit on the notion
That anyone cares

Dark and abysmal
That is what you see
So keep printing this page
And make the world be

Your floor is beset
By your encircled canter
Only to be succeeded
By your venomous banter

So remember this lesson
Reality is subjective
I'm thinking now
We've found what's defective

You are the world
That is all you see
Make it a better place
Formed in to reality

About this poem

Inspired by a popular phrase "If you think the world is a bad place full of bad people, try being a better person!"
